Go ahead and cough on my food, my ultra-chad white blood cells are going to make mincemeat of that wimpy little cold that has brought you to your knees.
Quit being a bunch of sickly, medicine-guzzling weaklings and start taking your cold showers. Would highly recommend the Wim Hof Method as an introductory course. It's also an incredible tool for testosterone and muscle recovery.

Well I started working out earlier and as a result I don't have time for a coffee ahead of that. I get up, take a 2 minute cold shower and head to the gym. There's a lot of evidence that cold exposure is really god for you, and it wakes me up, to say the least! Do I think that this is a replacement for "modern medicine"? No. It's a replacement for my first coffee that I'm not willing to wake-up early enough to enjoy!
All that said...I generally feel great! I think t hat could be partly that cold shower. It could also be the delayed caffeine (there's also a lot of evidence that having caffeine after 90 minutes is better than first thing). I'm not sure, but it's actually a good routine for me now.
